If I Stay/Forman, Gayle/259 pgs



This is another Gateway Readers nominee and I enjoyed this story also. Not a very happy tale though. It is about a girl who loses her entire family in a car accident and she is critically injured. The story is told by the girl who through out most of the book is outside of her body watching what is happening. She is told that she has to make a decision whether to stay or to go. Her life previous to the accident is told in a series of flashbacks when different members of her extended family or friends comes to visit her. With their help, she does make her decision. Just a warning, some of the language in this book is a little mature.
